Are MALE Teachers recognized and accepted to teach in Preschool?

Answer 1

should be able to.

Answer 2

I am sure men are allowed to teach preschool. I don't know why so many people have hangups about men teaching children. It is not like every man who teaches is a pervert. I also think the school district will have and set their own rules for men in preschool grades. I would not mind if my child had a male teacher in Kindergarten or PreK. Of course I would be involved in her class, just as I am now. I think working with and talking to the teacher daily or frequently may eleviate some of the suspiscions. Also, on the flip side, it may clue you in that there might actually be a problem.

OK, well, enough of that. If that is what you truly want to do, then I say go for it. Find a district that will allow that. Good Luck.

Answer 3

Yes, and even though some parents do not think it is a good idea I definitely saw the benefits. I work at a childcare center and we had a male preschool teacher and all of the kids loved him. In an age where so many children don't have male role models in their lives it was important for them to have bonding time with men.
All individuals who work with children are required by law to have child abuse, criminal background, and in some states even FBI background checks. A male teacher is no more likely to do anything bad to the students than a female is.
As for parents who are worried about bathroom times or accidents, females change your little boys and help them to the bathroom, why can't a male help your little girl? Many of the men who get jobs in preschool are already fathers and have dealt with children for most of thier lives.
I think it is totally acceptable to have a male teacher in a preschool class and can benefit young children by showing them positive male role models. Regardless of what people say about men being rough and strict, it doesn't mean that male teachers are going to yell at the kids and not foster their development. Men can be great teachers and sometimes even better than females because they have to work harder to prove that they are capable of being a teacher at that level.

Answer 4

When I applied for a job as a Teacher/IT Tech at a private pre-school, I was told that there would have to be either a second female teacher and or female teacher's aid in the room as well. I don't think it's a law, but I am sure many schools do this to protect the kids. But other then that, I'm sure they are accepted.

But it was a weird job to begin with, they didn't have enough money to justify hiring a full time IT guy, so they wanted to merge a teaching job into the IT job.

Answer 5

Male teachers are treated like DIRT from both parents and other teachers. I had a male co-teacher for 2 yrs. I was sickened by the comments. Why are there NOT men in this field? the low crappy pay. If this was a male-job you wouldn't see such poor working conditions. next, parent comments. One mom did not send her child to my class because her daughter was 'afraid of men'. seriously. a 2-3 yr old afraid of men? even grandpas and uncles. any man made her daughter cry. other parents were concerned about potty-time. even when it came to boys! some of those parent comments were down-right kooky. Other staff asked if I found Todd 'hot' to work with. Others asked if he was 'touching' the kids in 'certain' unnatural ways. And where is Todd today? teaching Early Childhood teaching classes at a college for triple of what he made! and me, still struggling financially. still getting only twice as much now working in a public state preK.

Answer 6

Male teachers are an asset in preschool, especially for active little boys. They tend to have a better way of dealing with them than female teachers.

Answer 7

Some years ago I read the statistics that all elementary school teaching positions in this country have 54% of applications filed by fully qualified male teachers, but fewer than 20% of the hirees are male. What does that tell you about the profession?

Answer 8

The quandary that many parents end up in is they do not have the time to look for the right eBook s and understanding framework with which to teach their kiddies but with this specific program https://tr.im/mA1Ux , Children Learning Reading this problem is arrive at a end.
Children Learning Reading is very extensive, and your son or daughter can have number problems assimilating the lessons whilst the instructions are well-designed. Because the machine is founded on phonetics, the training method is gradual.
In Children Learning Reading program the classes are distinctive and can't be present in other understanding methods.

Answer 9

There is a bit of a social stigma attached to male teachers in primary school. Ditto for male nurses. And you still don't find too many female engineers at the workplace.

For every 10 female elementary school teachers you'll find 1 male teacher. It's unfortunate, but that's the way it is. Male teachers usually start appearing at the high school math and physics levels, and at college of course.

Answer 10

Yes why not! I must say they are rare but I cannot see why not. My general perception is that male teachers have more patience with children or men in general and although my kids had no male pre school teachers, their Monkeynastics instructor, Karate instructor, swimming instructor, special art and music instructor were all male. This was from 4 to 6 years old. My son actually bond beter with his male instructors, he prefers men. my daughter does not mind.

Answer 11

Absolutely, in fact the school district in which my children attend hires men in the lower grades more quickly than in any other area of education. They feel the influence a man has on younger students is far more important today than it once was thought to be. The men are also more quickly promoted.
